It's time to start braving the blazing sun and natural air movement outdoors, albeit a bit protected.
Flower and vegetable starts are crowding out the florescent lights over the table in the woodshop, so with recent benevolent weather I pack the whole lot of them (13 flats + 5 pots of geraniums) out into this portable mini-hothouse just outside the door for a few hours each day, to begin their hardening off process in preparation for life truly outdoors.
Outdoor planting here usually can begin June 1, though one can sometimes 'trick' nature earlier with row covers and cloches.
I built this little, low garden hut with leftover suntuf® panel ends, from the greenhouse roof. Two foot panel ends were just right to use for this little hut.
